My crazy aunt has decided to end another year with an outrageous stunt for her birthday. No race cars this time, not even a few sharks. Just a regular old Chicago building that she is going to rappel off of.
Yep, for her birthday she is going to play Spider Woman and slide down 27 stories of windy city skyscraper. Not how I'd do it, but I spent my birthday drinking and bowling, activities lots of you may not see as the optimal way to celebrate another b-day.
Even though I, and the rest of my family, think she is nuts, her lunatic behavior does have a very silver lining. In order to take this plunge, she needs to raise $1,000 to benefit the Respiratory Health Association. If you want to learn how you can help (or if you want to find out where to meet me October 25 while I watch the nutball) check out her fundraising page.

Thanks for the shout-out!
With online donations and an offline donation, I've raised $575 thus far (which excludes the fees I've paid to participate/rappel). A big THANK YOU to all who have already donated!!
Granted it may seem a little insane, as some of my past (and hopefully future) extreme adventures, but it's better to be known as the crazy aunt than the weird or spinster one! Plus I thought it interesting and a little nuts that lung cancer kills more women than breast, cervical and ovarian cancer combined.
I'll let you know my scheduled rappel time once it's been assigned! Thanks again and I hope this doesn't lead to your crew rigging up ropes and such on the house to 'try this at home!'
We will be right there with you! J & I are making good on my wedding gift to 'see' Chicago so we're hitting up all the museums and staying dtown the 24th, if anyone is interested in Dinner, or breakfast/lunch the next day, though I am sure Spiderwoman will need her rest and relaxation beforehand. Depending on what time she rappels, we'd love to hang with the crew & catch up before heading South!
27 stories? Pretty clever to do half a story for each trip around the sun! Happy 54th!
Perhaps the symbiote has affected your math skills. It's not a half story ratio, it's only a paltry 0.6 floors. An ENTIRELY different story. Thanks for the effort though and the b-day greetings!
